lol this is so nasty
 
Dark Souls 2 has a 91 on metacritic. It's not like it's a pile of steaming hot garbage.

As I said in the DS2 OT at the time, I would never trust most reviewers with a niche game like that to adequately judge how it compares in many aspects to its predecessors.

For many of them as long as it didn't shit the bed and followed through on the motions of the series, it would be enough and so rate it highly cos the others were and it attracts a devoted fanbase.

I say that as someone who did enjoy dark souls 2 btw.
 
Mm... hardware manufacturers haven't really seemed to back this up. Just recently nVidia and the Unreal guys have started a form of hardware exclusivity where specific functions are only available to nVidia cards. That makes it really difficult on AMD when they have to compete against "this only works on nVidia because it's built into the hardware."

It'll never happen with PS4 and Xbox One when it comes to games. I bet you my left sock.
 
Looks like I need to play Demons Souls, lol.

Thanks guys.

How is Dark Souls? I see it on sale on Steam all the time.

As good as or similar to Demons?

Ddint play Demons but Dark Souls is an awesome game, and you'll probably can get it cheap on Steam, and run it at better fps than either Demons or Dark on consoles.
Demons is hub and stage based, Dark is more "open world" (not really open world like Skyrim, but interconnected world, kinda like a Metroidvania).
 
Wow that random youtube video with the collection of webms has gotten like 190k views since these were posted? Internet is hungry for this game.
 
When I watched the YouTube video, I heard the voice of Jim Ross in my head:

"Hey wait a minute....that's Demon's Souls music! BAH GAWD THAT IS DEMON'S SOULS MUSIC!"
 
In an ideal world all games would be released on GNU/Linux systems with their source-code at the same time. However, exclusivity on a single-closed platform can benefit the game itself.
I don't necessarily agree with this, but I do agree that at some point software is going to have to be historicized and without a real infrastructure to do that aside from what seems to largely be personal collections, it's really difficult to see. Like, LJN is a company nobody wants to remember, but their history of shit games is important, especially for teaching future designers.

I hope you're right but this hasn't been the direction hardware and software manufacturers have been going. Everything in China and Korea is a closed system and the move towards mobile games is deeply problematic.

Still, this is tangential to Project Beast directly. Apologies.
 
The port begging really clogs up all the worthwhile posts.

IN MY VEINS.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNG.

OMG A WHIP.

HAT.

E3 HYPE.

For me Dark Souls has a more interesting world. I really like that they took it open world exploration in Dark Souls compared to the level structure in Demon's Souls. All three games are similar, but Dark Souls still is my favorite in the series so far. Dark Souls 2 is second then comes Demon's Souls. None of them are bad, just I prefer Dark over Demons because of the open world.
 
Well slap my ass and call me Shirley, it really exists. Hype! I want them to take all the time they need in order to deliver a masterpiece, but as a PS4 owner I'm really salivating for some new 2014 titles.
 
The leak looks amazing, definitely the type of thing you would use to close the E3 conference. Personally, i would have like it to not have been leaked, just to be surprised at E3, but still looks amazing and am officially hyped.
 
Dark Souls doesn't even come close to capture the atmosphere and gritty dark ambience of DeS. I really hope the Beast will truly be a spiritual successor to Demon's.
 
Apparently "no port begging" is going to have to be apended to ever Beasts thread now.

I don't get it.

I don't remember seeing this much salt for Titanfall. I mean sure people were confused and upset as to why it was exclusive, but pretty much after it was known if it weren't for MS Titanfall wouldn't have been possible, people let it go.

Now we have a "sort of" confirmation this was co-developed with SCEWS, and people are still mad. (Others hide it well, from what I can see.)
 
Wait what ?
So if its a spin-off and dont expect the same kind of game mechanics as in a Souls game.
So it could just be a hack n slash game.
Now im worried........

If Dark Souls 2 demonstrated anything, it's that having a strong creative direction trumps rehashing gameplay mechanics every day of the week.
 
This points could be valid! All that's left is for Microsoft to pay another developer to make a Souls-esque game exclusive to the XB1.

"T..this looks like garbage anyway. Nightz Lordz™ for XB1 looks better than this Souls rehash crap.."



Demon's Souls.

Nightz Lordz also has exclusive dlc and you can stay connected to your 7830483 friends on your friends list.
 
I never played any dark souls/demon souls game, so I have no idea why everyone is going so crazy over this low quality leaked trailer? Anyone care to explain?

(not sure if I should even dare ask this)

Proof that Souls >>> Titanfall
 
People are way to harsh on Dark Souls 1+2

Still fucking amazing games

I wasn't talking about 1.
2 is just frustrating in how clearly it missed the point of almost every dark souls & demon's souls convention.

Extremely tight focus, interesting and unique world building that doesn't sit behind oceans of expository dialogue a'la bioware. Interesting gameplay mechanics. Isn't insulting to player's intelligence, it is a refuge from the mountains of accessibility features and designs that make games boring and devoid of interesting player choices. unique art design.

GO play a souls game man

Then you will understand

Not to mention that this announcement is slightly tempered by the failings of Dark Souls 2... Mainly the Visual downgrade fiasco

You bet your ass people are ready for Next Gen Souls

Could you elaborate more. I feel like I agree in certain respects but it was very much a Souls game.
 
The backhop + shotgun blast + extending the weapon is giving me strong Gunlance (Monster Hunter) vibes. The combat always had a very similar, "heavy", deliberate feeling, which is why I instantly felt at home when I first played Dark Souls.

It's a specific game for a specific type of player, but yeah, people are obsessed with it if they're into it. It has become a cult of personality particularly tied to Miyazaki as well.

They are also just really well-designed games. It's a relatively small franchise with a couple million dedicated players. All of them have a grimdark fantasy feel.
